Well, it probably depends on the distribution. If you've got a distribution that boots off the CD, plus loads pcmcia on the install image, it shouldn't have any trouble (modulo Sony flaking out and breaking support for their cd-rom drive); certainly Mastodon, which is not what you'd call a well-funded distribution, can install itself off a 505?x without any trouble or floppy drive, so I'd suspect some of the distributions which have hiring 99% of the Linux kernel hackers can do it as well.
